Kent State University,the largest residential university in Northeast Ohio, with more than 33,000 students on eight campuses, ranks among the nation's 77 public research universities demonstrating high-research activity by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.
Kent State earns national recognition for its breadth and quality undergraduate programs balanced with innovative research and graduate studies. Its unique eight-campus network serves both the development of a true living/learning approach at its Kent Campus, where residential living combines the resources and facilities of a large, diverse university, and regional needs on seven campuses offering the friendly, casual atmosphere of small liberal arts colleges.
Regional campuses include Ashtabula, East Liverpool, Geauga, Salem, Stark, Trumbull and Tuscarawas. The Kent Campus provides baccalaureate, master's and doctoral study opportunities.
At the same time, Kent State's Regional Campuses serve their specific community's needs with associate degree programs in more than two dozen technical and business fields, as well as baccalaureate and selected graduate work.
Located in Kent, Ohio (population 28,000) the Kent Campus is ideally situated in northeastern Ohio, amid rolling terrain dotted by spring-fed lakes. Yet “big city” enthusiasts are only a short drive from four major urban centers, with airports offering access to the nation and the world. The beautifully landscaped Kent Campus is composed of more than 866 acres. There are 119 buildings on the Kent Campus with a 291-acre airport and an 18-hole golf course nearby.
Kent State provides learning opportunities in some 281 academic programs of undergraduate study. Kent State also offers 17 degrees in 288 programs at the master's level, one degree for educational specialist in eight areas and two doctoral degrees in 68 areas.
Besides boasting a distinguished and award-winning faculty, Kent State attracts scholars and researchers to diverse institutes, centers and research bureaus in specific areas.
